Who IS that on the album cover?

Tomtom · 08 Mar 2007, 14:16

I've owned Bat Out of Hell on vinyl since I was 11, and one things always bugged me - apart from the man himself, who are those other two on the back cover album art? I'm guessing Steinman and a backshot of either Foley or McClain, but those are just guesses. Anybody know?

evil nickname · 08 Mar 2007, 14:42

It's Steinman, but who the girl is, no idea. My guess would be Ellen Foley, before she dyed her hair.

Tomtom · 08 Mar 2007, 15:06

Aha, so it IS Steinman - anybody know for sure who the woman is?

mszee · 08 Mar 2007, 15:10

I think it's Ellen Foley too

**RadioMaster** · 08 Mar 2007, 15:10

we had that discussed a few weeks back on the german forum, and came to the result that it´s most likely Ellen Foley.

Tomtom · 08 Mar 2007, 15:30

You lot are stars. anyone know how I contact Ellen Foley to ask her? It must be the kind of thing you'd remember doing!

*AndyK* · 08 Mar 2007, 15:32

Best bet is to try to contact her via her myspace page.

Tomtom · 08 Mar 2007, 18:31

Bless Ellen Foley! She wrote right back to me on MySpace to say that it definitely wasn't her, but she couldn't say whether it was somebody the others knew or just a model they got in. Back to square one?

mszee · 08 Mar 2007, 18:39

Can somebody post a picture of that cover?

**RadioMaster** · 08 Mar 2007, 18:44

mszee · 08 Mar 2007, 18:49

That's what I thought it is...

Supposedly it is Ellen Foley...she is in other pictures of that kind where face shows...guess not...

My next guess would be then hired model

djfierce · 08 Mar 2007, 19:57

Probably just a model i guess,
Doesnt seem to be stated anywhere

Ma.Ra · 08 Mar 2007, 20:57

LOL, this discussion remind me when I have found out, that the girl in the anything video was just a model and not the singer

**RadioMaster** · 08 Mar 2007, 20:58

djfierce · 08 Mar 2007, 21:12

Mrs Loud, aka Lorraine Crosby has blonde/reddish hair, similar to Bonnie Tyler. In fact, she was a backing singer in Bonnie's band for years and years. I saw Bonnie at a music festival in Swansea back in 1995 (I think) and Lorraine was singing with her then. Then about 3 years ago, Lorraine brought her own band to play at a club in my hometown. I went along to watch, and Bonnie came too. It was a great night, but sadly there wasn't a very big crowd in. I ended up singing with Lorraine and Bonnie backstage. It was awesome fun!

Lorraine told me that if she'd known I was coming, she'd have got me up to do AFL with her. She did an abridged version, as obviously she only features in the last few minuites of the original, and one of the boys in the band sang the Meat bits.

She was lovely to talk to, and so was Bonnie. In fact, Bonnie got one of my posters off the wall (I was appearing at the same club a few weeks later) and asked me to autograph it for her. Stupid ol' me even asked her who I should make it out to

(of course I meant did she want me to write 'to Bonnie' or 'to Gaynor', her real name, but it sounded weird asking this famous person who I should make her autograph out to...)

**RadioMaster** · 10 Mar 2007, 10:45

weird...
I always thought Mrs. Loud was the girl singing AFL on the history of ML show... Who is THIS then?

djfierce · 10 Mar 2007, 23:09

I was dragged (kicking and screaming shamelessly!!) to a Joe Longthorne show(small price to pay for a ML ticket though lol) and she was the warm up act, i thought she was awful, no personality and no ability to entertain, she got peoples attention when she announced that SHE had a no 1 a few years back but when she said it was AFL people just looked at each other and shook their heads lol, she can sing but that was it imo, i didnt particularly care for the way she spoke about Meat on tv and press around the time of x factor either, the 'he got fat off of the profits from afl while i struggled' comment wound me up more than the others.

Not trying to bash her that's just my take and opinion is all!

i dont think you would have seen her unless you get our x factor over there, even then she was knocked out at the second stage. She does a few cabarets over here now
